¿Qué Pasa en Quepos? – August 2016
Bienvenidos…Welcome to our piece of paradise. We are sure you will have a great time. There are so many wonderful things Costa Rica has to offer and we have them all right here. Amazing beaches to stroll or fly with Aquas Azules Parasailing. World class sport fishing and a fleet of boats waiting for you at Marina Pez Vela. Congratulations to Roy Zapatao for your world record 51 lb. Snook. (see article pg. 44). We have tours from skydiving (Skydive Costa Rica) to scuba diving and everything in between. Whether you want to relax and enjoy the nature and wildlife on a mangrove tour or for a little more adrenaline try white water rafting ( Quepoa Expeditions). Our mangroves and rivers are as magical as our coastline. To experience the jungle canopy there is nothing like ziplining ( TiTi Canopy tours). Or the first of its kind EcoTram at Hacienda Baru( tell Jack we sent you). August is whale season so while you are enjoying a cocktail at our many restaurants with a view pay attention to the coast you never know when a family of Humpbacks will go swimming by.
We want to welcome the ISA Surf World Championships to Jaco August The Costa Rican surf team will be defending their World Title which they won in Nicaragua in 2015. The surfing will be world class as well as the destination, what better way to defend the title then to have home field(ocean) advantage. So lets go out and support the CR surf team to another World Championship. Thank you Paul for the amazing cover. VIVA COSTA RICA!!!
We would also like to wish all you mothers a Happy Mother’s Day. We would not be here if not for you. So don’t make mom cook take advantage of our incredible selection of restaurants. She probably would not mind a massage or mani pedi either.
I would also like to welcome our new advertisers Tico Pod Art Gallery, Coral Yacht Adventures, Monkey Ride and The Kayak Lodge.
We hope you enjoy our magazine and it helps guide you through this enchanting paradise we call home. You can always follow us here or on facebook. We appreciate and welcome your comments. Again Good Luck to the Costa Rica Surf Team…
Peace and Enjoy……D
